More than 80 musicians and politicians have written a letter to billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson asking for payments for performing at Glasgow’s Virgin Hotel which is now closed down. <br /><br />The former premise owes thousands of pounds to artists it hired to play in the time period between August and December 2023 from when it opened and closed. <br /><br />One of the musicians David Toule decided to take action after receiving no communication.<br /><br />The letter appeals to Richard Branson, who did not own the hotel but did co-found the hotel brand. <br /><br />He wrote it was irresponsible for the group to book musical entertainment if there was even the slightest unlikelihood that they would not be paid for their work. <br /><br />He said it put so many through emotional and financial turmoil.<br /><br />Multiple artists are now boycotting the hotel chain.<br /><br />The letter was sent to two of Branson’s addresses though a spokesperson claimed he did not receive them.
